FAQ

We screen our products to make sure their ingredient lists don’t contain any of the cosmetic ingredients banned for use in the United States, European Union, Canada, or Japan. Over and above international standards, we screen each list for chemical UV filters, sulfates, PEG’s, petroleum derived ingredients, synthetic fragrance and more. We also make sure our products don’t list ingredients that are not fully biodegradable and that might harm waterways or wildlife while being washed away. While the majority of our products are vegan, you may occasionally find a product that contains honey, beeswax, ghee, milk or pearl powder.  All our brands verify that their products and raw ingredients have never been tested on animals. If you have questions about any of the ingredients in our brands’ formulas, do not hesitate to email us at hero@beauty-heroes.com.

Beauty Heroes subscriptions automatically renew on the 26th of the month based on your subscription term.

We do not offer a refund on partially filled subscriptions, but will fulfill your initial subscription term completely.

Yes. Our team can easily change that for you. Please email us at hero@beauty-heroes.com and we will update your subscription term.

Each month we time the arrival of your Discovery to arrive the first week of the month in the U.S. International shipments take a little longer and typically arrive the 2nd or 3rd week of the month.

If you join Beauty Heroes prior to the 26th of the month, we ship your first delivery same (or next business) day.  You will receive an email shipping notification and tracking number on the day your shipment is mailed.

The 26^th of any given month is the last day to join and receive that month’s Beauty Discovery. For example, to receive June’s Hero Product, you must become a member of Beauty Heroes by June 26th. Memberships initiated after June 26th would receive July’s Discovery as their first delivery at the beginning of July. If you’re concerned about your delivery or have any questions, please email us at hero@beauty-heroes.com.

Also, please make sure we have your current address on file so we’re shipping your box to the correct address!

New memberships are billed immediately when you join Beauty Heroes. As your membership renews, you’ll always be billed on the 26th of the month at the term of your membership. For example, 3-month memberships always renew on the 26th of the month every three months, 6-month memberships on the 26th day every six months and so on.

Yes, the Hero Products included in our monthly deliveries are the exact same that you’d purchase in our Beauty Store. The freshness and high standard is at its peak. Beauty Heroes offers you the same products at an unmatched value of $39.95-$58.95/month because it is a one-time discovery to introduce you to the very best in healthy beauty. The brands we feature align with Beauty Heroes’ mission of delivering healthy, effective and cruelty-free beauty products. They’ve agreed to introduce their Hero products to our members – as a special one-time offer – so we can pass that value on to you. Pretty cool, right?

Each month, our beauty discovery has a product value of at least $125, and often much more. We look at the total value of our service as we make the healthy beauty choice the easy choice.  The total value of being a Beauty Heroes member includes:

– QUALITY: Full size, healthy Hero Products plus extra surprises

– CURATION: Hand-picked selections appropriate for each season that deliver results

– SAFETY: Trust that your beauty routine is toxin- and cruelty-free

– VALUE: An unbeatable value on products with a value of at least $125, and often much more

– LOYALTY: A 15% discount every day in The Beauty Store

– EARLY ACCESS: As a Beauty Heroes member, you receive early access to promotions, limited editions and member-only offers.

Our monthly beauty discovery service features a rotation of skin, body care, sun and hair care products. Occasionally we will deliver a wellness product that is related to beauty. We do not feature makeup as a part of our monthly discovery service and instead offer separate, one-time makeup discoveries in the spring and fall. If there is a type of product that you are not interested in receiving, please send us an email so we can keep that on file and assist you with skipping that month’s discovery.

We have found that choosing makeup is very individual, and not everyone wears makeup. Therefore, we offer seasonal makeup discoveries that can be purchased as a one-time discovery in our beauty store.

To forecast properly for our service, we do not offer the ability to skip-a-month of your subscription.

You can only combine one-time purchases with your subscription on your first box. Subsequent boxes in your subscription cannot be combined with orders. We understand the desire to do this, however our fulfillment and shipping procedures for our Beauty Discovery Service and Beauty Store are handled separately.

However, if you purchase the one-time Discovery, you can add other items to your order and they will ship together.

We ship most of our orders via USPS Ground, which we’ve found to be the most reliable and cost-effective option for our customers. Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and P.O. boxes ship via USPS Priority. We also offer an expedited Priority shipping option at checkout for an additional charge, if you need your order a little sooner.

We do our best to ship your order the same day or the next business day after it’s placed. In rare cases, we may use UPS instead of USPS if it’s required by the destination, but USPS remains our primary carrier.

Occasionally, an item may be on backorder. If that happens, we’ll reach out via email with an estimated ship date so you’re always in the loop.

Please ensure your subscription is shipped to a secure address and keep an eye out for your tracking email. Once your order ships, you’ll receive a shipping confirmation with tracking info, followed by a second email when your package is out for delivery. Beauty Heroes is not responsible for lost or stolen packages, so tracking your shipment is key.

Delivery within the U.S. typically takes 2–7 days. International orders may take a bit longer depending on your location.

We have a section in our Beauty Store that features products that come in travel sizes.  You can purchase these travel size products to make sure a product works well for you before you purchase the full size.  In an effort to reduce waste, we recently stopped receiving samples from our brand partners and sending samples to our customers. Sample packaging goes directly to landfill almost 100% of the time. Our team at Beauty Heroes is well trained on products, please email us at  hero@beauty-heroes.com and we will do our best to answer all product questions, and help find the best product for you. We look forward to reevaluating our sampling program once more sustainable sample packaging makes its way into the market.

All orders that meet a threshold of $125 before member discount and shipping costs are eligible for our monthly LOVE MORE gift with purchase. You do not need to enter a special code to receive the gift. The gift will arrive packed with your order.

EXCLUSIONS: Limited Edition & Previous Discovery boxes, Subscriptions and Gift Card purchases do not qualify for our LOVE MORE gift with purchase promotion.
